  • Kirby Yates takes first loss after unearned run
    Kirby Yates took his first loss after giving up an unearned run in the ninth Tuesday against the Mets.

    Advice: José Leclerc’s inability to get the job done in the seventh stressed the Rangers bullpen tonight. David Roberson had to get the final two outs of that inning and then wound up giving up two runs in the eighth on his 30th pitch of the night. Yates came into a tie game in the ninth and gave up the go-ahead run on a walk, a catcher’s interference and a double. The catcher’s interference was provided by J.D. Martinez, who again tested the boundaries of the batter’s box, but at least he didn’t break anyone’s arm this time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:46 pm
     
  • Volpe drives in one as Yankees down Orioles
    Anthony Volpe went 1-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Volpe got the scoring started for the Yankees in the second inning when he singled to drive in Austin Wells from third. Volpe’s hit was one of just six hits the Yankees tallied on the evening, as they managed to draw six walks, with five coming against Orioles starter Albert Suárez. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:21 pm
     
  • Albies triples, drives in one in win over Tigers
    Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Albies hit his first triple of the season in the first inning to drive home Jared Kelenic. His RBI would be one of two the Braves would drive in on the evening in what turned into an unexpected pitching duel on the evening. Like many of his teammates, Albies has struggled at the plate this month, slashing .209/.229/.418, despite having nine extra base hits. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:03 pm

  • Carroll has two-hit night in win over Nationals.
    Corbin Carroll went 2-for-3 with a triple and an RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Carroll tripled in the fifth inning to score Geraldo Perdomo from second and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Ketel Marte. After a slow start to the season, Carroll has hit much better this month. While he’s still looking for his first homer in June, he’s slashing a solid .293/.406/.431 with six extra base hits and 10 walks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:20 pm
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Melendez isn't in the Royals' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Oakland.

    Advice: The A's will send Hogan Harris to the mound to begin Tuesday's contest, so the left-handed bat of Melendez will remain on the bench to begin the game. Garrett Hampson will fill the opening in left field while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:40 pm

  • Corbin Carroll (side) leading off Tuesday vs. Nats
    Corbin Carroll (side) is leading off and playing center field against the Nationals on Tuesday.

    Advice: Carroll is back in the lineup after leaving Sunday’s game against the White Sox with discomfort in his side. The 23-year-old had an MRI back clean, and it’s great news for fantasy managers and the Diamondbacks that last year’s Rookie of the Year is back in action. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:34 am
     
  • Corbin Carroll (side) ‘penciled in’ Tuesday lineup
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters before Tuesday’s game that Corbin Carroll is “penciled in” to the lineup against the Nationals.

    Advice: Carroll underwent an MRI on his side, and it came back clean without structural damage. The Diamondbacks could take precaution if he’s still sore before Tuesday’s contest, but it’s good news for Arizona and fantasy managers that at the very least, he’s avoided a significant injury.

  • Will be in Tuesday's lineup
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Carroll (side) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Advice: Carroll was removed from Sunday's 12-5 win over the White Sox with discomfort in his left side, but an MRI came back clean Monday. Lovullo shed more light on Carroll's injury Tuesday, noting that the outfielder was merely dealing with some cramping. He'll be in action for the series opener in Washington on Tuesday following the team off day Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:06 am
     
  • Clubs ninth homer
    Schneider went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old took Nick Pivetta deep in the seventh inning, but Toronto was in a 7-2 hole at that point. Schneider has been struggling in June, slashing .170/.224/.302 through 16 games, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him moved down in the order from his usual spot hitting first or second. On the season, he's batting .225 with nine homers, three steals, 31 runs and 34 RBI in 65 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:37 am
